Stewards Notes
Part 2 of the 10 year celebration! Watch out for the monkey!

 

[Allibubba99]

In the event of a field of 13-16 drivers we will disable mics and race with one grid. With 17+ we will split the grid.

Eligibility

This WRS-Online event hosted by 3D3 Racing is open to GTP_Registered members only. If you are not currently on the registry run the GTP_Registry qualifier and join now!

Registration Instructions

The following must be performed by every driver for every event:

• Click the registration button above, fill-in and submit the online registration form (use your GTP_ tag ID)
• Leave a quick note in this thread to let us know you've registered and any other comments.

The following must be performed only one time per driver (not per event):

• Send a PSN friend request to GTP_3D3Racing, GTP_3D3_A and GTP_3D3_B from your GTP_tag account.
• Submit the 3D3 Racing Online Driver Database Entry Form. Your information will need to be verified before you are added to the db and before your ID will appear in the registered driver table above. You can view the official driver database here.

There is a 32 car/driver limit for this event (per region) and slots are awarded on the grid using a first come first serve basis. Reference the registered drivers table above for availability. This is a stand alone race and points are not tallied for a series. Future WRS-Online races hosted by 3D3 racing may have different driver limits and will require re-registration using the same first come first serve basis and participation in future events is optional.

Registration Changes

If you want to change your time slot, add a time slot or update your color choices just click on the registration link and fill out the form again and submit with new values. Your last entry will override any previous entries.

Cancellations

If for some reason, after you register for the event, you are unable to attend please click the registration button above and complete the form again selecting "cancel" as your status. Please also post a note in this thread as the table above can take some time to update.

Delaying or Restarting Race Start

Once the race countdown timer has started, the race will only be restarted in these cases:

• Multiple drivers report a black screen/hang, instead of the 3-2-1 countdown.
• One or more drivers get disconnected before race-pace has begun ("GO" for grid-starts, end of formation lap for rolling starts).
• Steward realizes there is a condition that would lead to an unfair or poor race experience.

Once the race countdown timer has started, the race will explicitly NOT be restarted for:

• Latecomers, even if you've registered
• Driver realizes he picked the wrong car parts (ie, tires) or driving options (ie, Auto tranny)

• After the system places you on the grid drivers should proceed into stagger formation in order.
• Pole sitter will choose his/her preferred side of the track.
• There should be no overlap between cars in the staggered formation.
• Speed limit on formation lap is 62 mph / 100 km/h and pole sitter should maintain this speed (or less) to keep pack together, in particular in the final sector.
• Weaving or other tire warming procedures are NOT allowed during the formation lap.
• Pole sitter will exit the last corner and take care to give enough time to allow all cars behind to safely exit the final corner.
• Start marker for Trial Mountain is the start/finish line.
• The pole sitter should start the race by accelerating to race pace at the identified start marker (track specific and may or may not be the start/finish line).
• All other drivers should accelerate after the driver in front of you does so.
• No passing is allowed before the start marker.
• Be cautious and courteous in the first turn. Dive bombing will be penalized and will not be tolerated.

Standard Clean OLR Rules Apply:

• Unless otherwise specified, all rules from the original WRS event apply.
• You are expected to drive clean at all times as if you are racing in the WRS. All participants are required to follow the GTPlanet Online Racing Rules & Guidelines.
• 3D3 Race Stewards (who are taking part in race, but will review the replay) reserve the right to kick out or invalidate the result of any driver from the Race Room for driving offensively. If you ignore any warnings from the stewards and are kicked out of the race room, you will not be allowed to participate in future 3D3 events.
• Contact with walls should be avoided. Wall riding/bouncing to gain time will be penalized and/or can result in disqualification.
• Rumble/ripple strips are part of the track
• Runoff areas are not part of the track including green painted concrete.
• Limit your contact with walls or objects, visible or invisible
• No hybrids
• No cheating of any kind
• Nothing that goes against the spirit of the rules
• Passing and Blocking: Aggressive blocking is not permitted, but the driver in front has the right to choose his/her line and braking point and drivers behind should respect that line. Be especially careful when you are on older tires than the competition as the speed difference may be significant. These events are "for fun" so just play nice and take a conservative rather than an aggressive approach when possible.

Good Luck, OLR Team

Thanks, Ill run some laps with this, play around with settings a bit. Need to cut at least a second out of my laps at the moment to have a chance of finishing anywhere up from the bottom

Edit: Have you (or anyone else for that matter) found anything other than max Aero to be effective?

 

[BanditKarter22]

I will join for a bit now

Here is a track guide I did for the TT, maybe useful for this as well



This is my tune, I didn't use max rear aero

Haha, we were just in the practice for the race, and I was suggesting this might be here, I open up the thread, and here it is! Great video, and what a lap! Probably won't be doing any like that but gunna do my best to cut as much as possible from my time.

Thanks 👍 Just had a practice with A7XMaverick and I reckon the race tomorrow should be pretty close It's a nice car to drive

 

[mohitraina91]

Thank you BanditKarter for the video . Nice job and congrats on the win!

Edit: Have you (or anyone else for that matter) found anything other than max Aero to be effective?

I would recommend keeping it at max aero (or very close to it). With tire wear, you want all the extra grip you can get. Low aero with worn tires could lead to a pretty hairy ride.

 

[oink83]

Is it normal for those blue countdown timers to be 6 hours slow? Not that it matters, because I know that in 1 hour and half the EU race starts...but that just annoys me lol. Im a bit pedantic when it comes to stuff like this haha.

 

[Holty]

How can i join the lobby..who should i add?

 

[mohitraina91]

The same 3D3_Racing lobby we used for the Tokyo race. Just click the community tab, find 3D3_racing, select the coffee cup, and join. You will not see 3D3 online.

 

[Holty]

cheers!!

 

[WRP001]

In case you don't already know the lounge is open for pre-race practice.

 

[Allibubba99]

I am just getting home. Might not be ready to qualify but will do my best. If I can't as per rules I will start in back!

Same here Al

Just can't find the time in the last weeks for the online wednesday races

Already missing the fun.

 

[oink83]

Really not pleased. Myself and Ren had just closed up, and I was hoping for a nice battle to begin, then im disconnected from GT servers. I know my internet was ok because PSN stayed on, and my pc was all online. Very disapointing, sorry guys.

See you next time I guess.

 

[WRP001]

Congratz to Bandit for the win and the "trifecta" (win, pole, best lap):

As per our tradition for first time winners here is the national anthem of the his home country:



I seriously thought about using "God Save The Queen" by The Sex Pistols instead.

Three disconnects today is not good... Maverick was within a couple seconds of Bandit when he DC'd late in the race and I think the other guys who Dc'd were in close battles at the time too. The PSN network must have had issues as we had several "loading" issues at the start as well... let's hope for better luck tonight.

 

[Sjaak]

Very challenging combo 👍,
Congrats to John,Mohit and Tim with the podiums.

Although the race was fun to me,competition from JTV and Holty,I messed up big time.
Must be hit the Shifter of the G27 or a lose cable under the wheel but my gear went into neutral and decide to stay there for at least 1 minute.
I was stuck on a bad point,so sorry for the guys who saw me surprisingly standing there.
Ghosting was handbrake +start I believe but......god knows where did I map the handbrake on the controls,or even worse did I map it at all.

Anyway 10 TVR's on the grid......priceless

Btw Al,great pictures on the 3D3 Mountain lion thread.👍 and Bandit for the tune.

See you all on Fuji

Thanks, loved having the national anthem played 👍

It was a shame about the disconnects, I was having good fun with Maverick, he was keeping me honest

 

[Bravojon]

Backed out of this race since they are starting the rookie league on Saturday I'm going to do those instead. Good luck guys, I'll be back!
